INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 08/24 and weekend of August 29th
AN INTERVIEW WITH KARDA ESTRA
Gothic images in chamber rock music

Karda Estra is the recording persona of English composer Richard Wileman. He started out as a rocker but veered into composing classical works for chamber ensembles and electric guitar. His imagery tends to be gothic and his music dramatic. We'll talk to him about a sound that falls between progressive rock and classical cracks.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MATTHEW SCHOENING
A cellist loops in Moebius designs

Matthew Schoening is in the second generation of looping cellists. He plays an instrument that looks like an electric stick, but it sounds like a string orchestra when he layers it in real time performance. Schoening talks about his journey from lapsed cellist to sound technician and back into the new world of music making.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MOBY
Two decades of Moby

In the first of two interviews we talk with Moby about a career that has taken from the disco dance floors of New York City to an avatar of electronic music that has found favor in the pop charts, on films and in commercials. Moby takes us from his days as the man behind many pseudonyms to his latest album, a reflective CD called Wait for Me.

ECHOES THEN & NOW: ALEX DE GRASSI
We repluck the strings of an Echoes icon
Alex De Grassi
is among the most influential of finger-style guitarists. He's the cousin of Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman, but that's not why he was among the most popular and critically acclaimed artists on that label. As we near our 20th anniversary we look back at Alex De Grassi from his Windham Hill debut to his latest work.
